Occupational ergonomics continues to open doors across academia and industry. In this follow-up session of our OETG webinar series, students, recent graduates, and early-career professionals will hear directly from early/mid-career professors working at the ergonomics-related programs.
Panelists will share their career journeys, day-to-day responsibilities, and the kinds of projects they lead. They will also share practical advice on academic hiring, networking, and building the skills needed to transition from student to professor. A live Q&A session will give attendees the opportunity to engage directly with panelists and ask career-related questions.
